Chapter 1131: Ask for help!
No one spoke in the huge workshop.
Cassore didn't even need to turn around to feel a dozen burning gazes staring at him from behind.
One reason is to wait for him to make a decision.
Second time...
It is inevitable that there will be a desire to watch the fun.
After all, it was you who assured us that there would be no problems if we built all the major components first and then pre-connected them together.
And now, this three-centimeter-wide gap is right in front of you, how do you explain it?
I don't care about my face anymore.jpg
So, within just a few breaths, Cassore felt cold sweat breaking out.
In fact, before he returned to France, the two sides also discussed whether to send a team of Chinese engineers to accompany him.
However, from China's perspective, the entire process was designed by Liang Shaoxiu himself, and he even received some help from Chang Haonan during the process.
There was no way these two men could move.
If you send another ordinary engineer, it won’t solve any practical problems.
From Casore's perspective, he doesn't want to appear too aggressive in front of his partners, so he hopes to return to China alone to complete the production task.
So, in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
But now, Cassole has never felt so regretful.
The result of being too concerned about face is that you will end up losing more face...
Fortunately, he is a veteran and has seen a lot.
Although he felt extremely remorseful in his heart, he still pretended to have "everything under control" on the surface. He moved closer and pretended to check the situation, while his brain was working rapidly, thinking about whether there was any way to remedy the situation.
After a few minutes, Cassore finally calmed down.
Although we are reluctant to admit it, the fact is that in the past few years of cooperation with the Chinese, the other party has never made any particularly serious mistakes, whether it is the Rafale fighter or the Falcon 8Z business jet.
Therefore, the first thing he thought of was whether there was a problem at the factory.
"Char, show me the production log."
Cassore turned around and gave the order in a calm tone.
Of course, a formal factory cannot operate in the same chaotic manner as a small workshop.
Each operation performed must have a corresponding record.
"it's here."
Bain took out the materials he had prepared long ago.
In fact, he had already checked the contents of the log.
After confirming that everything was correct, he went to look for Casore.
Sure enough, the latter read it through twice from beginning to end, but still found no problems.
If nothing went wrong in the operation...
"Manager, can you determine what the problem is?"
Someone in the crowd behind him asked at the right moment.
It's hard to say whether it was intentional or not.
Cold sweat started flowing down.
But just when Casore was about to lose face, another voice suddenly came:
"Manager, the width of this gap is almost exactly the same from top to bottom. In fact... it doesn't seem to be caused by part deformation or gap flow."
This sentence instantly woke him up.
Parts of different specifications and positions will have different margins calculated before pre-connection.
If there is a problem at the design level, the result should be an uneven situation.
Unless a constant is omitted in the calculation process——
This is obviously a bit too outrageous.
Casore looked back gratefully.
But he found that the person who had just helped him out was the engineer who first asked him the question a few days ago...
For a moment, Cassore felt mixed emotions and didn't even know what to say.
It was not until about half a minute later that he spoke again:
"I'll report the situation to the design team. After all, this is the first time a new process has been applied, so it's normal to have some issues... It shouldn't be difficult to resolve."
……
It is evening in France, which corresponds to noon in Beijing.
Therefore, the report on Casore's situation was almost immediately placed on Liang Shaoxiu's desk.
Looking at the photo in front of him, the latter just felt a little dark in front of his eyes.
The reason why he assigned this task to the French was to take advantage of this opportunity to get a free technical verification and uncover the hidden dangers in the entire set of technology.
But the hidden dangers Liang Shaoxiu had thought about were that the tolerances were found to be too large during assembly, or that the strength did not meet the expected standards during testing.
At most, the problem can be solved by manual rework.
But I never thought that the problem could be so big.
When Casore was taking the photos, he was afraid that there would be no reference, so he specially put a vernier caliper in.
Although it's not very clear due to pixel issues, it should be around 2.8 cm at least.
This is definitely not a problem that can be solved by just hitting it with a hammer or changing the positions of a few pre-connection points.
There must be something wrong with every preset unit, and finally they all concentrated on this one crack.
What's more troublesome is that because he was not at the scene, he was unable to conduct a more detailed analysis.
As for the ideas proposed by Casore...
He first said that he had checked the logs and it was unlikely to be a problem in the production process.
I also think the gap is too smooth and neat, and it doesn’t seem like a problem in the design process…
This is just like saying it.
Looking at Liang Shaoxiu, whose face was uncertain, Deputy Chief Designer Ma Lin, who was sitting opposite him, tentatively suggested:
"Boss Liang, based on my management experience in the workshop, the production log cannot be fully trusted... If we want to fully understand the problem, I'm afraid we need to ask them to disassemble the assembled parts and check each parameter one by one to see if they are consistent with the design requirements..."
This generation of Chinese aircraft designers is very experienced in solving production problems.
After all, until Project No. 10, we had suffered great losses in this regard.
It was that accident that almost destroyed an AL31FN that made the aviation industry system determined to vigorously rectify the non-compliant operations in the production process.
It’s only been a little over five years.
Liang Shaoxiu came from a small factory, so he knew all of this very well.
But if we really do as Marin said, the inspection alone will take almost half a month.
This is a major blow to the entire "Gaoming" project.
It would be fine if it happened under normal circumstances.
Anyway, the backup plan is always kept, so it’s just a waste of a little money.
But now is the critical juncture in competing with the Kingdom of David and preparing to lose face to save face.
If he failed, even if his superiors didn't say anything, Liang Shaoxiu would not be able to get over it.
After thinking for a while, he leaned over and picked up the receiver of the red phone from the corner of the table, then dialed a three-digit extension number.
"Hello, Xiao Liu, please help me arrange it..."
Having said this, Liang Shaoxiu's voice suddenly stopped.
On the other end of the phone, a doubtful and anxious voice came:
"Mr. Liang?"
When he heard the second call, Liang Shaoxiu came back to his senses:
"No need for now, go ahead and get busy."
After saying this, he quickly pressed the off-hook button and dialed a longer number.
About ten seconds later, the call was connected.
"Hello?"
The person on the other end of the phone was naturally Chang Haonan who was from Gaofa Group.
As luck would have it, he had just finished a round of testing and returned to the office. Before he even had time to drink a sip of water, he heard the intercom ringing.
"Hello, Mr. Chang. It's me, Liang Shaoxiu."
Although they were separated by a telephone line, Chang Haonan could still tell that the other party's tone was not right:
"What's the problem?"
Liang Shaoxiu's answer was exactly what he had guessed:
"Something went wrong during the pre-connection process of the back wall panel unit..."
"Dassault's production was indeed very fast, but during the assembly process, we found that the units did not match each other, and a gap of slightly less than 3 centimeters appeared..."
"The safest way now is to dismantle everything and re-check the production status of each component, but I want to ask you... if there is any better way. I have already sent you the situation report..."
Obviously, this is a call for help.
However, even for Chang Haonan, it is impossible to analyze the cause of the problem and the solution just by listening.
So as he spoke, he quickly opened his internal mailbox.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look at the specific situation. Tomorrow at the latest..."
Chang Haonan originally wanted to say that he needed a day and give a reply tomorrow.
But at this moment, he happened to see the picture attached to the report.
"OK……"
Liang Shaoxiu was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute, don't hang up yet!"
Chang Haonan quickly stopped the other party from ending the call.
"Tell Dassault to change the positioning method from N-2-1 to N-1-2, and change the bandage clamping direction from horizontal to vertical."
